Strengths
• Museum keeps the area relatively safe
• Users feel safe, and most users are locking their bike just with only one lock, despite the fact the site is prone to theft

Weaknesses
• Lighting is poor
• Sheffield stands are too close together and harder to use than they should be. Outside stands are used but they block the ones in the middle
